Has anybody come up with a simple solution to make a 24m amazone sprayer work on 21m tramlines. I’m thinking of some sort of manual folding mechanism
currently at 18m but bought a 24m sprayer but I’ll get contract work but currently he works at 21m. The last section is 3m on each side so able to work at 18/24m no bother so it’s just a matter of halving the last section and the nozzles are configured 3 and 3 on the outside section so no messing about to do with pipe workWhen I went from 21m to 24 I had to reduce the nrw sprayer to 21m for a few months. Took the brake backs off and built some temporary 1 m sections attached at the pivot. It wasn’t pretty but worked.
Why not change to 24m?

What nozzle bodies has it , ,if like on berthoud ,with 4 rotary ,just twist them to between nozzles and nowt comes out , do this when doing game strips , if a narrow strip ,Curr

Don’t need taps as the sections will turn the ends off it’s the folding mechanism I’m interested in as we don’t have grass margins in NI so I need to keep the boom out of the hedgesPutting a temporary tap in 1.5m from the boom end would suffice for the middle of fields. Headlands would ideally need shorter boom ends.
this is what we did for a season switch off 3 nozzle either side for the middle of field and cut spray rate down by 12.5% pain in the ass but do ableGrinder?
What size are sections? My landquip has similar boom setup and I don't fold out outside sections to got at 24m instead of 28.
Or spray headland at 24m, then just shut off nozzles manually.
Or just turn the nozzle holders so they are on the diagonalPutting a temporary tap in 1.5m from the boom end would suffice for the middle of fields. Headlands would ideally need shorter boom ends.
Just drive further inside on the headland.Don’t need taps as the sections will turn the ends off it’s the folding mechanism I’m interested in as we don’t have grass margins in NI so I need to keep the boom out of the hedges
made our old 24m knight into a 28m (waiting on new 28m to be made) by adding 2m folding section on each end, could quite easily do it the other way if needed, are you planning on going to 24m drilling next season? so just want temporary fixHas anybody come up with a simple solution to make a 24m amazone sprayer work on 21m tramlines.

Have customers on 18m who prob won’t change as there fert spinners are on their limit, don’t really want to do a permanent cut back to 21m although it works better for the 3m one pass drill ( no half width required) so I’d like to retain the 24m option when I have it as could potentially get some 24m work - the pic is listed in the book but told it’s only for the l3 boom on a trailer sprayermade our old 24m knight into a 28m (waiting on new 28m to be made) by adding 2m folding section on each end, could quite easily do it the other way if needed, are you planning on going to 24m drilling next season? so just want temporary fix
That would please the owner as he would be doing the fert in the 21m tramlineIgnore headland tramline and spray1.5 m further in, but blank off the overlapping inboard nozzles. Thereafter use tramlines to spray at 21m as normal with your 24 m set for 21m.
The break backs are the last 3 m on each side so no break backs when working at 18m - so basicallywhat size are the break back sections? could you not just alter those then fold back when needed, with a tap in the line
